This morning we both feel much better. The sun is shining and the sea is calm.
We are sailing in Gulf of Oman. It is not really a gulf, but a strait that connects the Arabian Sea with the Strait of Hormuz, which then runs into the Persian Gulf. We are passing Oman on the way to the UAE.
After breakfast I sat out on the Promemade deck and read until it was time for trivia and Evelyn found a mahjong group.
After trivia, where Myrna was a great help, we laid by the pool building up energy to eat lunch. Evelyn and I really haven't done much for the past three days while fighting our head colds, but we are recovering.
After lunch, I still didn't feel like bridge, my head just wasn't into it, so we picked a couple of deck chairs on the Promenade deck and fell a asleep, until we were awoken for afternoon tea and scones. Made me think of the Titanic. Very civilized ..
We are in a heavily traveled sea route and we can see ships around us. Tankers and container ships. The captain still says we are pirate territory, however I personally think we are too far north. Let's hope I'm right.
The show tonight was at 7pm and we went to the show room early to have a drink and snack on the cheese plate we received in our room. The performer was the English singer Chili Gold. A somewhat unusual name but a very good singer. This was her last performance and she leaves the ship in Dubai and new talent comes aboard.
After dinner we turned in early to rest up for our tour of Dubai.
Sea days give you an opportunity to get into a routine. If you like to keep busy the ship has all kinds of organized activities, from line dancing, back gammon, ceramic painting and other crafts to duplicate bridge and trivia. Trivia is very popular and has become very competitive. There appears to be one team that will need a suit case for all of the Princess logo prizes they have eon. How many key chains can one use. oh! I forgot it's for bragging rights... You can always just lay by the pool or read in the library or one of the other public rooms. You can do as much or as little as you want. And somewhere there is always food or some type of music.
